Fanmaster

Carver Fanmaster

Your Carver Fanmaster heat unit is responsible for the heating of your caravan. It is a duel fuel unit, this means that it runs on 240v mains electric and gas.

The Fanmaster is also equipped with a fan that allows the warm air from the heater to be passed around the caravan via a system of ducts. This allows the whole caravan to be kept a specific temperature.

240 Volt Operation

The heater has a mains switch, which has to be switched on allowing 240v to the unit.

Important: Before switching on the mains switch, operate the fan control switch, as below, this will stop the unit overheating. This unit cannot be used as a convector heater, it will over heat with out the fan in operation.

If the unit fails to heat up the manual trip button may need resetting.
 
Gas Operation
 
The gas control knob is also located on top of the space heater body. 

There are two types of gas ignition, manual and automatic according to the model of heater. 

The manual type uses a press down pitzo ignighter. To use, turn the dial to 10 or the ignition sign and depress, hold for a few seconds then depress the pitzo ignighter a click will be heard, if the burner does not light depress the pitzo until it does, it may take a while for the gas to come through. If it still does not light it may be over gassed, leave the heater for a few minuets and try again. 

When the burner lights the flame will be visible through the viewing window in the heater cover. 

Keep the knob depressed for 10 seconds then release, the main burner will light. Use the dial to set burner to desired setting.

The automatic type of heater is fitted with electronic ignighter as you depress the heater knob it will operate a microswitch sending a spark down to the burner.

Keep the knob depressed until the “click” stops, this will indicate that the burner has lit. Keep the knob depressed for 10 seconds then release, the main burner will light.

Fan Control Switch:

The fan control switch is normally located in the vicinity of the Fanmaster this does vary with different makes of caravan.

There are two buttons marked off and on. When on is pressed a light will appear at gas auto fan and flash. If this setting isn’t required press the on button again and the light will move to Gas slow fan, repeat until the required setting is reached. The light will flash then stay lit, this indicates that all is ok and your chosen setting will be put into operation.

Gas Auto Fan:  This setting is for the gas-operated side of the heater: it is used in conjunction with the thermostat dial to the left. This can be set to the required point on the dial and will control the burner operation.

Gas Slow Fan: This sets the fan operating at its slowest speed and will not speed up.

Fan: This setting is fan only, it can be used in warm weather to move air around the van.

Elec Auto Fan: As gas auto fan but for the electric operation of the heater.

Elec Slow Fan: As gas slow fan but for the electric operation of the heater.

To stop any operation of the fanmaster, press off at any time. Remember to switch off the mains electric switch to avoid over heating.

Ducts:

Each out let has a control flap, this allows the flow of air to be reduced at the point of exit without reducing the fan speed to other parts of the caravan. There may be an outlet that doesn’t have a controller, this it to protect the fan from over heating.
